Mumbai Street Food and Cocktails for an H Street Date
Plan dinner for two at TAPORI, a lively Kerala inspired stop from the team behind Daru.
🍸 A Rowdier Dinner Date
Date night on H Street can take a rowdier turn at TAPORI. The team behind Daru has built this restaurant around regional South Asian street food, with Mumbai streets and Kerala markets shaping the kitchen. Craft cocktails share the billing, and the spirit comes from tapori culture, described as a little rowdy and intensely flavorful.
Make a reservation through Resy for a table at 600 H Street NE. The kitchen serves Wednesday through Monday from 5 PM to 10 PM, with Tuesday closed, while the bar has a weekend last call at midnight. There is also online takeout ordering through Toast for an evening spent at home.
For the check, a 20 percent service fee is added to every bill and goes entirely to staff. Include that charge when planning dinner for two, especially when cocktails are part of the evening.
